Romer-Oh-Oh Costs Him Open

Hello. I feel worst for Andres Romero after watching the British Open. Romero was -9, in the lead, teeing off on 17. He'd made 10 birdies in the round. 10! He'd survived a double bogey on the 12th. Now he was in a position to put some real pressure on Padraig Harrington and Sergio Garcia. A par-par finish would've probably secured the victory.
What does he do? Pushes an iron into the rough. Thens Romero takes out a 2-iron when either a wood or 7-iron was appropriate and hits it out-of-bounds on another hole. A drop and a wood onto the green led to a double-bogey.
Then, after a perfect drive on 18, an iron left of the green and a lipped-out putt results in bogey and third place at -6.
Romero ended up shooting 67 with two double bogeys and no pars on his card for the last 11 holes. Amazing!
How would Romero have done in the playoff if he'd been there? No one can say for sure, but he definitely would've had less pressure on his shoulders than Harrington and Garcia. Next to no one knew who Romero was, and he almost won. Unbelievable.

Regards,
Steve
